Hello Adrian, Sorry for the delay, I didn't have time to look at this issue before.

Could you please try the following patch [0] ? It's an RFC since I'm not really an expert on binary formats, but there were a few problems with the patch you mentioned as far as I can tell. I Cc'ed Daniel and Peter so they can correct me if I got anything wrong. Best regards, Javier [0] From 31c9864ff6543b624d404d8fabc9c517756a470a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Javier Martinez Canillas <javi...@redhat.com> Date: Fri, 16 Apr 2021 17:01:44 +0200 Subject: [RFC PATCH] util/mkimage: Some fixes to PE binaries section size calculation Commit f60ba9e5945 (util/mkimage: Refactor section setup to use a helper) added a helper function to setup PE sections, but it caused regressions in some arches where the natural alignment lead to wrong section sizes. This patch fixes a few things that were caused the section sizes to be calculated wrongly. These fixes are: * Only align the virtual memory addresses but not the raw data offsets. * Use aligned sizes for virtual memory sizes but not for raw data sizes. * Always align the sizes to set the virtual memory sizes. These seems to not cause problems for x64 and aa64 EFI platforms but was a problem for ia64. Because the size of the ".data" and "mods" sections were wrong and didn't have the correct content. Which lead to GRUB not being able to load any built-in module.
